DES-3226 NWay Standalone Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
Setting-up STP using values other than the defaults can be complex. Therefore, you are advised to keep
the default factory settings and STP will automatically assign root bridges/ports and block loop
connections. Influencing STP to choose a particular switch as the root bridge using the Priority
setting, or influencing STP to choose a particular port to block using the Port Priority and Port Cost
settings is, however, relatively straight forward.
